Five youngest players to take a five-wicket haul in the history of ODI cricket

#1 Mujeeb Ur Rahman: 16 years 32 days

Making history at 16: following Sachin Tendulkar's footsteps

Rashid Khan might boast of scripting the biggest success story of Afghanistan cricket right now, but every cricketer of this extraordinary team has a terrific tale to tell, nonetheless. Mujeeb Ur Rahman is definitely a part of that spectrum.

This young spin-bowler has been a revelation of sorts in the past one and a half year. His unparalleled performance in the final of the under-19 Asia Cup helped his nation lift the trophy after claiming an astonishing victory against Pakistan in the match. Rahman has continued to take giant strides in international cricket ever since he made his debut for his country in December last year.

He was also picked up by the Kings XI Punjab in the IPL 2018 auction earlier this year and he went to the franchise for a whopping sum of Rs. 4 crores.

Sachin Tendulkar created waves with his willow on the international arena at a tender age of just 16. Rahman did the same, but with the white ball. His maiden five-wicket haul in ODI cricket came against Zimbabwe on February 18, 2018 and his masterful display of spin-bowling on the day helped Afghanistan clinch the ODI series against Zimbabwe.

After Rahman played the pivotal role in dismissing the visitors for just 134 in 38 overs, the Afghanistan openers displayed their dominance by winning the game with ten full wickets to spare. The youngster was presented the Man of the Match award for his incredible effort.
